CORTY-FIVE years ago it was in r evitable that another big league baseball club would come along to divide patronage with the National that had been in operation (or 24 years. So the American League ar rived. It has been just as inevitable that another new football league would come along t h ? ?1 1 U? th. same IUBU. battle of the pra leagues is already under way, although the new All-Amer ica outfit won't take to the field until 1946. In the earlier and perhaps the later milling of this grid iron war, a large number of pocket books are going to Ait <-? r Aoriono/) rtl if i/t uauij uvu ui uaituitu uuj^. Only four teams have ever made any money to date in the National New York, Washington, Chicago Bears and Green Bay. The others together have lost well over a mil lion dollars. But in spite of this there Is no longer any questioning or doubting the fact that the new league is al ready here. Jimmy Crowley's cir cuit has signed up many smart coaches who couldn't have been lured away by anything less than protected financial guarantees. The new circuit has already signed up' too many good college football play ers?Bertelli, Bill Daley, George Franck, Glen Dobbs, Otto Graham and others, to back out now. The new league has paid out too much money already to quit. What will happen later, you might ask? For one thing the good college football players will benefit tremen dously in a financial way. G ran tUnd Bice Ka Ko^lv Battle of Pocketbooks For another thing, with greatly in creased salaries, bonuses and what not, there will be a big drop in prof its all around. Even as thingB have been, it takes an attendance of some 20,000 to break even. It will be a battle of pocketbooks and bank accounts for some time to come. The National League ean't afford to let its rival grab ail the leading stars, for such men as Hut son, Baugh and Luekman have been largely responsible for big crowds. There will be enough good football players to go around, but there are never enough outstanding stars or actual gate builders. What will happen later on? It is our opinion that after a series of painful sorties on the bankrolls in volved, there will eventually be two major football leagues with eight teams in each circuit. Some cities now on trial may fail to stand up or to show their en thusiasm for pro football on the needed scale. This is still true of big league baseball today where more than one or two big league cities should be replaced by others and where there should be some shifts in two-club centers that can only carry one club. New York, Chicago and Philadelphia can handle two major league football clubs. Granted the new league intends to hustle and put up a hard fight, there will prob ably be a football civil war for about a year, as there was in baseball when the young American League raided the National and took away many of its better players. Bonanza for Players Neither league can afford this type of competition long. It will be a won derful thing for the players and coaches, but more than most of the club owners can face without going broke. Any number of good football players will be emerging from war service this winter and spring and many more will bj graduating from college next June. Most of these will go with the team which offers most. There Is one point that both learnes should watch. This is, taking good care that they don't cross np the colleges or start raiding college teams. The colleges are now far stronger than the pros, consider ing the entire map, and they should remain that way. They are the foun dation of football. There are or win be less than 2d pro league teams. There are over 20# college teams that appeal to more than IS,000 col lege players. The present National League ar rangement of taking in no player until his college class has gradu ated should be maintained by both leagues. After all such teams as Army, Navy, Pennsylvania, Southern California, Ohio State, Michigan and Minnesota, to mention only a few, far outdraw any professional outfit. Army and Notre Dame, Army and Navy games could each play to 300, 000 spectators if there was only space enough. ? ? ? Overlooked Old-Timers During Ty Cobb's recent visit east the talk got around to some of the great ones of the past who are gen erally overlooked. "For example," Ty said, "there was Kid Nichols of Boston, St. Louis and Philadelphia. Kid Nichols was one of the greatest pitchers of all time, but how many even remember his name today?" I happened to recall some 40 years ago the admiration Christy Matbew I son had for Nichols. Smart Face-Framing Fascinator to Crochet wry i FASCINATORS are beginning to " pop out?all sizes, shapes and colors, but for sheer charm and face-framing effect the triangular fascinator crocheted in soft open work stitch still takes the cake. You need just two ountes of yarn ?try one in fuchsia, turquoise, Chinese jade green, soft beaver brown, yellow or rose-pink. Wear them unadorned for daytime, heavily sewn with sequins for din ner and theater wear. ? ? ? To obtain complete crocheting instruc tions for the "Fascinator" (Pattern No. 1491) send 16 cents in coin, your name, tddress and the pattern number. Due to an unusually large demand and current conditions, slightly more time is required in filling orders for a few of the most popular pattern numbers. Send your order to: SEWING CIRCLE NEEDLEWORK 115# Sixth Ave. New York, N. Y. Enclose 16 cents for Pattern No Address To Save Money, Mix Your Cough Relief at Home So Easy I No Cooking. Quick Relief.
